COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONBeer Archa was first launched in July 2004 to expand the market share, particularly in the standard and premium product groups, and to respond to increasing demands from a new generation of beer drinkers who prefer smooth beer with lower alcohol content. Beer Archa thus serves as another alternative for beer drinkers.

This pale lager whale was found in a 7/11 near the Khaosan Road, Bangkok. The pour’s pissy light gold with a tiny head. The nose is cardboard, vomit, some ribbon candy. The taste is cruddy cardboard, some sweet syrup and general nastiness. Light body, loads of carbonation. Overall, this is cheap artificial swill, even by dodgy pale lager standards. At least the price was right...

With the obscure yo-yo alcohol content of Thai beers I find this strange as a lighter choice at a still staggering 5.4% ABV. From the now blue labelled king brown not quite chilled as the heat of the afternoon was hard to avoid. It pours a medium gold and sparkling with a loose and desperate head of white that eventually fades. Lemon zest and honey drenched corn flakes on the nose with a light grassy hop and toasted malt note. With a clean nose it was oddly vegetal on the palate. Cereal-like grainy mid-palate and into the sweet, malt-driven swallow. Low hop; slightly spiced. Relatively light bodied but a residual sugary note makes it a little too cloying once it warms. An OK Thai lager, just OK! (64cL, Best after 02/06/12, Big 1 Super Market, Bangla Road, Phuket, Thailand)

33cl can in Bangkok. Light golden colour with a white head. Lightly matly with just a hint of bitterness. The usual South-East Asian lager. Quite boring, but also quite drikable in the heat when it’s served ice cold!
